🛒 Ingredients

  • 250g lean ground lamb (5% fat)
  • 1 lavash flatbread (or thin pita, 70g)
  • 1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp ground sumac
  • 1 tsp Aleppo pepper (or paprika + pinch chili)
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tbsp flat-leaf parsley, chopped
  • Non-stick cooking spray + 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 200g non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup fresh arugula or mixed greens
  • 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds (optional)
  • 2 tbsp fresh mint, torn

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Cure the Onions: Toss sliced red onion with sumac and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Let sit 5 minutes to soften and release juices—this creates the signature sour-tangy component.
2. Prepare Yogurt Sauce: Whisk Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, and salt in a small bowl until smooth. Reserve.
3. Season the Lamb: In a medium bowl, combine lean ground lamb with Aleppo pepper, cumin, black pepper, salt, and parsley. Mix gently with your fingers—avoid overworking, which toughens the meat.

4. Shape the Kebab: Wet your hands lightly. Divide lamb mixture in half. Press and mold each portion into an oblong, flattened patty (~2cm thick) in your palm. This hand-shaping creates the rustic Adana texture.
5. Char the Kebab: Heat a cast-iron or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with cooking spray + 1 tbsp oil. When smoking, carefully lay kebabs flat. Sear 4–5 minutes per side until deep brown crust forms. Transfer to a plate.
6. Toast the Flatbread: In the same hot skillet (don't wash), lay lavash for 30 seconds each side until warm and pliable. This keeps it from tearing and adds subtle toasted notes.
7. Assemble the Wrap: Lay flatbread on a clean surface. Spread 2–3 tbsp yogurt sauce down the center. Layer arugula, crumbled warm kebab, sumac onions, pomegranate seeds, and mint.
8. Roll and Serve: Fold in the sides, then roll tightly from bottom to top, tucking as you go. Serve immediately, wrapped in foil to hold heat and contain any drips.
